The National Institutes of Health announced late Friday that it will be significantly reducing the amount of money universities can receive for “indirect costs” of research, a move that will take effect next Monday.

That is a decrease from the 30% rate most schools charged the government for and the over 60% rate some Ivy League institutions charged.
